In these strange times, it’s great to still have new music to look forward to, and since we’re two weeks into February now (which is starting to feel longer than a Pink Floyd song) it’s great that we have a new album to spin. If you don’t know Django Django then you’re in for a […]
Django Django have announced new album ‘Glowing in the Dark’ will be released on February 12th via Because Music. A video for the title track is available now. The video was directed remotely by Braulio Amadio. Django Django singer Vincent Neff said of the direction: “He gave me some loose directions of what he wanted […]
Django Django are set to release their brand new album Marble Skies on Friday 26th January 2018, on Because Music. The album recently launched its first single ‘Tic Tac Toe’, a rousing, trippy upbeat rock track. The accompanying video for ‘Tic Tac Toe’ was directed by John Maclean, brother of Django Django drummer/producer David Maclean […]
– THE ALBERT HALL, MANCHESTER – I saw (and reviewed) Django Django live in Manchester earlier this year at the Manchester Cathedral and the risk of repeating myself is high, so I’ll make a conscious effort to avoid that. The ‘problem’ is that they are simply brilliant, and at The Albert Hall – if possible […]
– MANCHESTER CATHEDRAL, MANCHESTER – Tonight’s show does nothing but confirm that Django Django entirely deserve the unexpected (by them) hype currently surrounding them. They arrive on stage soon after 21.30, facing a seriously raving crowd. I had a feeling they were popular, but not that they could cause a Beatles effect, with ultrasound screams […]
It is hard to be objective about a band’s long (three years is far too much) awaited upcoming release, when you personally feel they were robbed with their début. It was the boffin rock intro-spectacles that eclipsed their début’s success. Alt-J’s Mercury win with An Awesome Wave led to headline slots at Leeds and platinum […]
Sufjan Stevens will play his first ever UK festival show when he headlines End of the Road Festival in September. The songwriter will play the event, which is held at Larmer Tree Gardens in Wiltshire, on Saturday, September 5. He joins the previously announced headliners Tame Impala, who are currently readying their third album and […]
– ACADEMY 1, MANCHESTER – The NME Awards Tour is one of the most prestigious events in the music calendar. Renowned for launching the careers of some of the most influential bands in the past century; fromFlorence+ The Machine to Coldplay, many highly anticipate what is yet to come from the headliners Django Django and […]
– THE RITZ, MANCHESTER – The night is brisk and the age range trickling into the Ritz are almost as many balding heads in number as there are sprouting ones, at least at first. Django Django are following up the release of their long awaited, self-titled album, with a UK tour. The second night of […]
Following on from the release of recent single Hail Bop and subsequently the extended Hail Bop EP, Django Django are pleased to confirm details of their next release from their exceptional eponymous debut album – which was today nominated for this year’s Barclaycard Mercury Prize. This revered accolade is yet another deserved nod, as it […]
